Skuas are eating the penguin's eggs and also their small chicks. Mostly they work togeather with another Skua : one of them is facing the penguin-mother and trying to distract her, while the other Skua is coming from the backside pinching an egg or small chick.Skuas wear a kind of carmouflage and they are really hard to be seen, also for myself: I often passed by one of them, when they were hiding somewhere (see my 2nd photograph!) and for a penguin it is even worse to see the Skua in darker light or during a snowstorm.
